Attention customers: This site is still jacked up. The staff was too lazy to redesign more than the index behind the scenes. So we went live while still needing to build all the other templates. Think of it as putting your pants on before your underwear. Both are just about as embarrassing.

Nonetheless, the staff here for this week’s installment of FTILFF promises not to drop the ball [like they did last week…hello you insolent jerks!].

So without further ado, and a much needed “thanks for your patience” —

1. Tudor’s Biscuit World - Best name for a restaurant. Evar. And the fact that I got to have a sausage biscuit for the first time in four years and not break my fast-food boycott gets them an extra +2 points. Get the sandwich called “The Ron” — it comes highly recommended.
2. The TtV photo phenomenon - The latest craze to hit the blogosphere (ok, I’m a wee bit late), and the cool kids have some boffo work to show. Using an older square format camera and shooting a picture of what is in the viewfinder, it produces some dreamy and artsy pics.
3. The time between late summer and early fall - As I eagerly anticipate my favorite season here in the US, I can’t help but wonder if the few weeks just before the summer heat ends isn’t even more magical. Certain days, without choking humidity, pepper lingering heat spells. Like the sound of an old 45 nearing the edge of the record, there’s something exhilarating about it.
4. Bill Watterson, Rare Finds - It’s no secret that I loved Calvin & Hobbes as a kid. In fact one of the first gifts I ever gave my wife was one of my treasured C&H collection books. Some fun (and sad) rare finds about the genius behind the boy. [via]
5. Photos of stuff being destroyed at high speed - These kinds of things make their way around The Internets every few months. But I still find them oddly fascinating. [via]

Again, we here at FTILFF and the parent company of denyingphoenix do hereby pledge to work out all the kinks and bumps over the next week or so. At least as soon as Trevor the copy boy stops wearing his Underoos around the office.
